What is the American Red Cross Youth Council?

A new division of our local Red Cross chapter, this program is meant to be established by, led by, and in the service of young adults in our community. We hope to get members together who would like to start a brand-new service organization where young people are able to look around at our community and decide who needs help and what needs to be done, and then to do it! The Youth Council will be what You make of it.
